    The black Himel oil-tanned Shinki is magnificent and my favorite so far. I have had two jackets in his Shinki black oil tanned. One question I ask, after viewing a sample and/or owning a jacket from a particular batch, "which batch is this from"? I ordered and received a Kensington Himel in...

    Any opinions on those who have experience with Shinki from these sources? I know the Shinki I have had from Goodwear, Himel, SB, and soon Freewheelers. What are the differences and what are your observations?
